FOOTWEAR AND SHOES FOR MEN‎ ‎

People notice your shoes before they notice almost anything else. So make them count. Whether you're stomping through a Delhi winter in leather boots, sliding into loafers for a Friday dinner or lacing up fresh sneakers for a weekend with no plans, the right pair changes how you walk into a room. Our shoes for men are built with that swagger in mind: rugged leather, clean lines and soles that keep up with you from morning meetings to 2 a.m. exits. Pick your pair. Own the street.

Types of Shoes Every Man Should Consider

You don't need thirty pairs of men's shoes. You need the right five or six, and a reason to wear each one.

Sneakers

Your everyday go-to. Leather, PU or knit, in white, black or grey, sneakers work with jeans, chinos, shorts and even a relaxed suit.

Boots

The attitude pair. Leather boots, whether zip-up, buckled, studded or biker-style, add weight and edge to any outfit. They're perfect for winter and for nights out.

Loafers

Slip-on and sharp. Loafers handle the smart-casual middle ground, like the office, weddings, dinners and travel, without the fuss of laces.

Sliders

For the beach, the gym, the post-workout chill or the walk to the corner shop. Pool sliders are the easiest pair you'll ever own.

Long Shoes for Men: Boots with Attitude

In India, "long shoes" usually means high-ankle shoes, the kind that cover your ankle or go higher. Long shoes for men are the boldest move in your shoe rack, and they come in a few key types.

Types of Long Shoes for Men

Biker boots are high-top, rugged and built with leather that gets better as it scuffs.

Zip and buckle boots add hardware details for a sharper, rock-and-roll finish.

Chelsea boots are slip-on boots with elastic side panels. They're the cleanest, most versatile boot style.

High-top sneakers give you the same ankle coverage as a boot, but with sneaker comfort.

Wear boots with slim, straight or bootcut jeans so the hem sits cleanly over the shaft.

Leather Shoes: The Real Deal

Leather shoes age better than you do. They mould to your feet, pick up character with every scuff, and with a little care they last for years.

Types of Leather Shoes

• Full-grain leather: the toughest and most premium. It develops a rich patina over time.
• Top-grain leather: smoother and more uniform, with a polished look.
• Suede and nubuck: brushed leather with a soft, textured finish. It's casual and stylish, but keep it out of the rain.
• Patent leather: high-gloss and formal. It's mostly for black-tie events.

Casual Leather Shoes for Men

Casual leather shoes for men include leather sneakers, loafers and boots: anything leather that isn't a strict formal oxford or derby. They give you the quality of leather without the boardroom stiffness.

Can I Wear Casual Leather Shoes with Jeans?

That's what they're made for. Leather sneakers or boots with dark denim is one of the most reliable looks in menswear. Pair brown leather with blue jeans and black leather with black or grey jeans.

Genuine Leather vs Synthetic Leather Shoes

Genuine leather breathes, stretches to fit your foot and lasts longer, which is why it costs more. Synthetic (PU) leather is lighter on your wallet, easier to clean and handles the monsoon better. It doesn't mould to your foot the same way, though, and it wears out faster. Go genuine for boots and shoes you'll wear for years. Go synthetic for sneakers you'll rotate through fast or wear in the rain.

What Shoes Should a Man Own for Office Work?

It depends on your dress code:

• Formal offices: classic leather oxfords or derbies in black and brown are still the standard.
• Business casual: loafers or minimal leather sneakers in white, black or tan, worn with chinos or tailored trousers.
• Creative or startup offices: clean sneakers, Chelsea boots or loafers. Basically anything that looks sharp and isn't trashed. Go with dark jeans or cargos.

For most modern workplaces, a pair of loafers and a pair of clean leather sneakers will cover five days a week.

Best Shoes for Men: What to Look For

The best shoes for men tick these boxes before they tick the hype box:

1. Material: genuine leather for longevity, PU or mesh for lightness.
2. Sole: rubber or TPR grips better on wet Indian roads.
3. Fit: you should have about a thumb's width of space at the toe and no slipping at the heel.
4. Construction: neat stitching, firm heel counters and an insole that actually cushions.

How to Choose the Right Shoe Size

Measure your feet in the evening, when they're slightly swollen from the day. Stand on paper, mark your heel and longest toe, and check the length against our size chart. Most of our styles run from UK 6 to 11 (EU 40 to 45). If you're between sizes, go bigger for boots, since you'll wear thicker socks with them, and true to size for sneakers.
